[The possibilities for optimizing the surgical prevention of the progression of myopia]. / Vozmozhnosti optimizatsii khirurgicheskoi profilaktiki progressirovaniia blizorukosti.

Progressive myopia is a pressing problem of ophthalmology. Scleroplastic surgery is a pathogenetically validated method for treating this condition. The authors propose a new method for allotissue preservation, ensuring preservation of biological characteristics of tissues for any period without restriction, so that the material for transplantation were constantly available. A new shape of the graft is proposed: with a duplicature pouch and lateral incisions on one end, like a fur-tree. Such a design ensures a reliable position of the graft on scleral surface with an accent on the posterior pole and prevents pushing out of the graft from Tenon's space, which often occurs with common grafts. Transplants of a new shape were used in 2050 patients; the operation is easy to perform and its results are highly effective.
